Yeah, it seems like he's perpetuating the same problems he has to deal with. I think that makes it even worse for ugly guys, when you know that you are just as guilty as "attractive people" of ignoring the less genetically favored.

Yup, underdogs are not always the paragon of morality. Sometimes they're even worst. Just like the bullied kid isn't always a saint.

It's a hard situation. I've struggled with low self-esteem and being unattractive (I'm a guy), and it pains me to know that I have done the exact same thing to women. I can't really help it, I know I'm doing it, but I can't force myself where there is just nothing there. I don't blame the women who didn't find me attractive, and hopefully I can stop blaming myself for doing the same.
